Recruiters always told me “it’s nearly the same”,

Usually recruiters know jack shit about what they are recruiting for. Their main responsibility is trying to sell the idea that recruiters play a relevant role in recruiting, when in tech they quickly pass the ball to anyone else to assess hard skills.

but I never got the job, so I guess idk.

The goal of some recruiters is to source candidates and thus line up a list for their paying customer to go through. Their goal is to pretend they have a long list of people ready to help, when all they have is your name on a sheet of paper.
